Hey! =) Have you been using exam cram all this time? and did you get low scores in every area? I suggest that if you don't feel ready to reschedule! I know that your mom will understand..YOU know when your ready not your mom. BUT i can definitely understand the pressure your feeling!!! Goood Luck!!

first of all take out the negativity and have a positive approach :)
your mom doesnt tell you when you take the NCLEX, its up to you thatll decide when to take it :)
If you feel like you arent ready in 6 days then make sure you reschedule the NCLEX 24 hours prior
nope.. just tried exam cram today.. thanks you guys... pretty nervous.. i dunno.. i'll try again.. if i still get a scores that sucks so bad till wed... i'll def. resched..

It's time to take a day off and re-take the practice exam. My scored jumped UP after a couple of days off.
You know the stuff. Now give your brain a chance to process it.
ok, so i took another test.. 160 items from ncsbn.. and i only got 58%.. i had to stop studying for tonight.. my head aches and feels like it's going to explode... im not going to quit on this!!! i need 65% and above!!! sigh... life's hard lol!! 5 more days.. grrrr.... lol!!

At this point either you are ready or you are not. If you truly do not feel properly prepared, decide whether or not you need to reschedule, then deal appropriately. Or, get out of the mental rut you are in. You are only going to insure failure if you don't calm down, relax, and intelligently continue to review for a few more days. Sounds as if you really need some work on your relaxation skills, so don't leave that part out. Good luck.
thanks caliotter.. i'll def. see how my scores go till wed.. if it continues to be this way.. you know.. me not meeting the 65% and above things.. might as well resched.. i need to chillax a bit... proly why im getting all of this low scores..

i took my rn exam last week and needless to say i was in the same boat as you, since i really needed to pass because i needed to find a job asap to help through the bills, those kind of pressure and many others. i started to answer my qtrainers 7 days before my test everyday and had these scores.
qt 1- 76%
qt 2- 80%
qt 3- 64%
qt 4- 59%
qt 5- 53%
you see the decline and so i thought to myself if i was ready and had a little doubt, so i pm'd a member here to ask what she did and she told me to just answer the prentice hall review (265 items) and i did and you know what, i got the same score as she had (65% out of 265 items), man it was very agonizing to answer 265, but i treated it as if i was sitting my test and after went straight to ratio.
7 days before my test i browse my meds, normal values and drug computations before going to sleep. most importantly pray. :)
